On Linux forums I, a woman, would get ignored and disrespected. These days I ask my question, then switch to a fake account to give a completely wrong answer, then switch back again to thank them and praise their Linux knowledge. The experts show up right away. Sorted.
@fesshole That's really disappointing to hear.

@fesshole If you don't know the answer, how do you know it's the wrong answer?
This is, of course, a version of the "a stopped clock is right twice a day" problem.
@juliaclement @fesshole I don't know what the cure to cancer is, but I sure as hell know that it *isn't* topical chlorine gas. We've known that since WW1.

No, it defeats the bullshit “wisdom of crowds.” D-K is like the gravitational constant.

@fesshole I really wish this sounded less legit. :(

@juliaclement @fesshole it's something she tried and didn't work, so it's surely wrong

@chronovore @fesshole the same happened with mathoverflow. It wasn't like this when it started but at some point in the last decade it changed.
@jesusmargar @chronovore @fesshole Tends to remind me of walking and dog. They just GOTTA PEE right here because someone else was here and their stink needs to reign supreme. That's really what's going on. Sad apes beating their chest trying to mark territory where they feel powerful.

@fesshole Not a woman but often incapable of eliciting a response to my basic Linux questions. Maybe I should try your method!

@juliaclement @fesshole she probably posts about something she already tried. Something that sounds feasible (hence answer) but didn't actually work (hence wrong).

@chronovore @fesshole that's what drives me crazy about SO
At its start it was really helpful. But then the site gradually became less about Q&A and more about going for points and e-peen measuring. Way too many questions end up "why are you doing that" or having the highest voted answer being flagrantly wrong
Still it's nominally better than the before times where searching a question turned up forum threads with no answer, elitist flaming, "fixed it" or paywalled Experts Exchange links.
@beeoproblem @chronovore @fesshole I always hated finding someone with the exact problem I had, on the exact components, running the exact programs. Then after reading 83 responses they post again “never mind, fixed it” archived from 2 years before.

@passwordsarehard4 @chronovore @fesshole I wish I could reach through the internet, grab them by the shoulders and just tell "HOW?!??!? WHY DIDN'T YOU POST HOW?!?!"

@fesshole I've already read that, and reading it twice in a short time doesn't make me suspicious. Because I've contacted "experts" before, and I've received mixed reactions, I mean extreme.
There are very nice and helpful people, and the worst kind of sociopaths, both sitting at the same top level table.
Anyone can see that emerging from the wars running inside projects.
There's no such idillyc haven in the dry plain fact that some software is open source. Nor there's any rule for closed one. -

Most of the time, I can’t tell if I’m talking to a man or a woman…

@fesshole Setting the mansplainers against themselves is what's called a pro gamer move I reckon

@fesshole Wow, yeah sorry we have so many “superiority complex’s” in technology & science.
I have a few words to say to people about this exact subject… I will rant about it at a later date.
But here’s my main message:
Be kind to one another, people, you have to stop being so “superior” , because you’re not helping anyone learn anything when you behave like this. And no, you’re not “better than everyone” you just “know a bit more of something”.
